That shouldn't have hurt anything. Might smoke a little though.

Yeah it would take alot of liquid through the filter to stop your car from running. Doesnt sound like that is your problem...

Maybe clogged fuel filter?

if you spilled enough, could plug the air filter. one time i was washing engine bay and put plastic over the air filter, forgot to take it off and engine was wanting to stall when i was driving, took bag off and all was fine. what kind of air filter do you have.
